Banana Cakelets

I bought a cakelet pan from Walmart a couple of weeks ago and I’ve been dying to find a recipe to make these gorgeous mini cakes. I noticed there was a recipe on the back of the label and quickly got to changing it to fit my own personal needs. I never like to throw things out in the house, and therefore, when I saw bananas that were on their way out, I quickly pureed them for my dessert… or breakfast if you will.
